Kiss Me Kate - The Musical
The musical is based on a feisty relationship between an actor and his movie-star ex-wife, who are to play the leads in a musical version of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. The show involves great comedy dialogue in an amusing plot involving misunderstandings, dubious financial backing, gambling, IOUs and gangsters.
The great Cole Porter poured a huge amount of his best music into Kiss Me Kate. The score scintillates with hits like "Wunderbar", "Always True To You In My Fashion", "Why Can't You Behave", "So In Love", "Too Darned Hot" ..... a great stream of lovely melodies allied to words by the wittiest lyricist America ever produced.
